Re: [LD] Ghosts cluttering world with chaos ability

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Steam-PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.110.311.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not completely sure - play in Mourningvale for about 10 hours... maybe as a Haunted House Residential Lot on hard mode
What happens when the bug occurs? Loading into Mourningvale lots causes the game to be unresponsive. Have to end the process in task manager to close the game.
What do you expect to see? I expect the game to be responsive and run normally.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I tested this by also playing another household outside of that neighbourhood. The game runs properly doing this until I have that sim visit Mourningvale - the game instantly becomes unresponsive. It doesn't freeze or even crash - just becomes unresponsive and I cannot click on anything. I can enter the options menu but I cannot save or even x out of the game. It has to be closed through task manager.

Building on this lot also caused the same bug, even before I turned it into a haunted house so maybe they aren't related at all, I have no idea...

Edited to remove info about Haunted House Residential that is probably unrelated.

    I also had a haunted house in mourningvale, for me the issue was that even the household on the normal residential got the "scared by haunted house" moodlet when playing them 

    The dolls and stuff that spawn arround the neighborhood may be spawned in by ghosts with the new chaos ability tho, definately the stuff at Alices Tree, cause that's what I got in my game too and I saw that a bunch of ghosts would spam that ability in the same spot (have made a report). So I dont think that is related to the haunted house.

    Do the ghosts have cross pack compatibility and spawn those objects? I didn't know that. I really have no clue with the problem is... do you have the red spectres spawning and has Temperance showed up? Idk what's happening with my neighbourhood.

    Thank you, I just sent it.

    An easy way to trigger the bug is to move the roof pieces around in build mode. Otherwise it should just happen within a few in game hours of live mode.

    Also, while I was backing up the save I saved it in a new slot. This fixed the bug from happening instantly on load but it still ended up happening a few seconds after moving the roof pieces.

    @Rebekyy I don't see any clutter in the world and it hasn't become unresponsive yet (even after moving some roof piece around.

    I'm unsure, did I ask you for your specs before ?

    That's weird, I wonder if the clutter info is stored in the documents folder or something? There was a violin near the guardian tree and some haunted objects near the ghost cowplant crypt. 

    My specs are : i7-8700K 3.70GHz CPU, 32GB Ram, 1080ti GPU

    It only happens in Mourningvale though.

    I guess I might just have to wait and see if other people get the same issue and if they don't I'll just stop playing until I get a new PC or something.

    @Rebekyy Found those. Guess it was a bit later yesterday.

    Still can't get it to crash though.

    Going to merge this post with Agnes post. It does seem that the haunted lot spawns objects anywhere in the world.

    @Rebekyy I didnt keep the haunted house long enough for Temperance (cause of the bug), Guidry showed up and one of those sigils spawned in the house and the green specters would show up though.

    Yes, the ghosts spawn all kinds of stuff from other packs too, its mostly paranormal stuff but I saw some horse poo too.
